HTSeq install

[fatakias]

Dear HTSeq expert(s)

I am installing HTSeq as root user on OS: Mac OS X (snow leopard).
I downloaded the tarbal from

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/HTSeq

Here is the output of the install and build command:

sh-3.2# ./clean
sh-3.2# ./build_it

Can you please help sort the problem. What is "setuptools" seeking or how does one run that first.
Thanks in advance

You are not supposed to run './build_it'. Rather, install HTSeq as you would install any other Python package, by running 'python setup.py install'. And read the installation instructions, please.

Hi sarosh,

I installed HTSeq on Lion a few days ago. I got the same error message. I searched around and found a solution below:

on the command line,
add “export CC=gcc" into ~/.bash_profile,
then “source ~/.bash_profile".

I wish it would help.

HTSeq error with Ubuntu 11.10

Hi Simon!
I met similar problem when I tried to install HTSeq-0.5.3p3. Read the other posts on similar problem in this forum and google, not direct clear solution yet.

Could not import 'setuptools', falling back to 'distutils'.

But the rest went fine. Modified the .bashrc file as suggested by ngsseq (which seems for Mac OS, but gave it shot just in case!) still did not work. My python version is 2.7.2+ Any news for this Bug? Thanks!

HTSeq error with Ubuntu 11.10: [SOLVED]

Just in case anyone met the same problem. First updated my python to python3.2, still not working. Should have paid attention on the instruction (>=2.5 PYTHON <3.0). After a couple of try found out my problem is related to setuptools and python 3.2.
1) I had setuptools3 instead of setuptools. Decided to have both.
After this, building from the source code went well, but met problem with

python setup.py install

on line 12 of setup.py. Thought of the python version.
2) symbolic link my python to /usr/bin/python2.7.2 instead of /usr/bin/python3.2. Worked!
And when I came back also found new version was released in another post, which does not need setuptools.
Good luck!

[Simon Anders]

You don't need setuptools, distutils works just fine. (This is what a "fallback" means.)

[fatakias]

Hello, now I get a different error message pertaining to gcc. I did manage to install numpy and scipy using a super_pack script for my 64 bin MacOS 10.6. Then tried to get HTSeq going ... compiler issues linger. Can you please suggest a fix. Thank you,
Best,

Please start over and follow the instructions. Especially, note that the instructions do not ask you to run 'clean' or 'build_it'.

Any suggestion?

[Simon Anders]

First of all: Please give complete information, when asking a question. It is not nice that I have to guess that your are using Linux and forgot to mention this although you can see that this thread is all about Mac OS. Which Linux distribution? Which Python? Is this your desktop PC or some centrally administered server?

Your Python is using Intel's C compiler (icc) instead of the GNU C compiler (gcc), which is used by virtually all Linux distribution. This hence does not seem to be a standard Python installation. You will have to try again with a more standard setup or ask the person for help who had the qeustionable idea of deploying an icc-built Python.

Hi,

I want to install htseq-count on a server (unix).
Here http://www-huber.embl.de/users/ander...l.html#install
they have for linux,mac and windows but not unix.

Let me know if you have any idea.

linux is a unix-like OS. So use the linux version.
